Here are some things you can do to help a friend:
 | Believe her.
|
| Be a good listener.
|
| Be supportive. Other people may doubt or blame her. She really
needs a friend.
|
| Let the decision about who she talks about it with, be up to her.
|
| If you're not sure how to best help your friend, get some advice from a rape
counselor.
|
| Read a book on surviving rape.
|
| You're probably going to be the first to be told about the rape. Be
there for her. Listen. Support her decisions. Just be
there for her.
